[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: Fix default value of kickfd and callfd

Currently, default value of kickfd and callfd is -1.
If the value is -1, current code guess kickfd and callfd hasn't been
initialized yet. And vhost library will guess the virtqueue isn't ready
for processing.
But callfd and kickfd will be set as -1 when "--enable-kvm"
isn't specified in QEMU command line. It means we cannot treat -1 as
uninitialized state. The patch changes default value to -2. And the
patch defines -2 as VIRTIO_UNINITIALIZED_EVENTFD.
